To my knowledge, the opposite is true. The, timely, arrival of Linux User and Developer through my letterbox this morning made reference to an open letter signed by noted free software names voicing their disapproval at the powers-that-be within OASIS who are leaning towards permitting of software patents in their standards. I can't imagine any sane free/open source software developer would be in favour of software patents. This sounds like another piece of pro-swpat rhetoric "invented" to sway the less knowledgeable.
